Lyrics:

I Saw Star Wars At Least 8 Times
had The Pac-Man Pattern Memorized
and I've Seen The Stuff They Put Inside
stretch Armstrong

i Was Roger Stauback Back In My Back Yard
had A Shoebox Full Of Baseball Cards
and A Couple Of Evil Kinevil Scars
on My Right Arm
well, I Was A Kid When Elvis Died
and My Mama Cried

chorus
it Was 1970- Something
in The World That I Grew Up In
farrah Faucett Hair-Do Days
bell Bottoms And 8-Track Tapes
lookin' Back Now I Can See Me
and Oh, Man Did I Look Cheesy
but I Wouldn't Trade Those Days For Nothin'
it Was 1970-Something

it Was The Dawning Of A New Decade
when We Got Our First Microwave
and Dad Broke Down And Finally Shaved
those Sideburns Off
i Took The Stickers Off Of My Rubix Cube
watched Mtv All Afternoon
my First Love Was Daisy Duke
in Them Cut Off Jeans
a Space Shuttle Fell Out Of The Sky
and The Whole World Cried

chorus
it Was 1980-Something
in The World That I Grew Up In
skating Rinks And Black Trans Ams
big Hair And Parachute Pants
lookin' Back Now I Can See Me
and Oh, Man Did I Look Cheesy
but I Wouldn't Trade Those Days For Nothin'
it Was 1980-Something

now I Got A Mortgage And An Suv
but All This Responsibility
makes Me Wish Sometimes
sometimes....

chorus
it Was 1980-Something
in The World That I Grew Up In
skating Rinks And Black Trans Ams
big Hair And Parachute Pants
lookin' Back Now I Can See Me
and Oh, Man Did I Look Cheesy
but I Wouldn't Trade Those Days For Nothin'
it Was 1980-Something

1970-Something
aw, It Was 19-Something
